That's Me Guess Where...A Boat in the Building..WHO's

It should be pointed out that there are actually seven boat pits in the whole complex of Khufu at Giza, but two of the boat pits are associated with the smaller so-called Queen's Pyramids.

Two of the boat pits on the east side are now empty. Their walls were probably surfaced with limestone slabs, which reduced their width and simplified construction of a roof over them. Petrie found some roofing blocks covering the end of the southern trench, but some scholars think that they were never covered, since pillars would have been needed to help span their width. They are very large. The southern pit, for example, is 51.5 meters long, seven meters wide at its midpoint and eight meters deep. A third boat pit is on the upper north edge of the causeway, and therefore at the very threshold of the mortuary temple. It measures 45.4 meters in length and 3.75 meters at its widest point. It has a convex floor, and is accessible by way of an ancient staircase with 18 steps. It too was empty. Though these pits likely did at one time hold boats, some scholars have also speculated that they could have simulated boats themselves, rather than containing real ones. However, George Resiner found cordage and pieces of gilded wood inside the third pit along the causeway, indicating that a boat had once been present.
